Hey guys I just got done doing my shackle/tt lift and I am perplexed at an issue with the tt. I measured the front on both sides before I did the lift and only got about 1 inch when i was done. The thing is my p side torsion bar adjustment bolt maxed out and I couldnt screw it in anymore after 1 inch. I was wondering if the was bad for the cv joints even though i only got about an inch of lift. I saw that there was an angle that these should be less than a while back on this site but I can't seem to find the thread about it. If anyone knows this angle I would appreciate it as would my cv joints. Thanks.
 






If my memory serves me correctly it is 20 degrees.more than that they will bind up and wear prematurly
 






it will be fine since its under 2" from ride height, if you want it higher just get a longer bolt and keep crankin
